A bit about me and why I love Coaching

I bring to my coaching 32 years of experience in the education sector; of which the latter 20+ years were as a Headteacher. My family background is also in teaching and is reflected in part through my style of working with others: service-driven, person-centred and solution-focused are all trademarks which I have taken into my coaching practise.

My key driver for becoming a coach was to enable people to thrive, develop and flourish. My experience has afforded me significant insight into issues faced by leaders, teams and individuals from both corporate and personal perspectives. Through establishing an effective coaching partnership of trust, empathy and challenge, I know that people can be empowered to find their ways forwards and achieve success. Through the coaching process, clients’ potential to maximise their own performance is unlocked – the ‘goal’ for both client and coach. I very much see coaching as a win-win partnership!

What do I do as a Coach?

which supports them in finding their best way forward. Coaching can bring to the surface many emotions and expose vulnerabilities so creating the opportunity for clients to speak openly, confidentially and without judgment is fundamental to how I work.

I bring to the coaching conversation my successful experience of leading and managing people which also provides me with a unique opportunity to support my clients through challenges which may include induction into new roles; managing challenging people; shifting the workplace culture; loneliness; capacity building; anxiety; building teams; imposter syndrome; stress management and with that, attaining an appropriate life balance. Empathy is key; as is challenging people’s self-perceptions when they’re ready to be politely nudged towards change!

Having established my own company in 2018, I work both inside and outside of the education sector coaching senior leaders, C-suite executives and delivering coaching skills training to staff. I enjoy all facets of my role as each bring their own uniqueness and an opportunity for me to build trust, rapport and engender an empathic approach with others. The positive impact made by coaching is evident and I am both proud and humbled to be part of my clients’ transformations.
